I think the poors take the “ your lawyer for life” and “ family calls family” they see on billboards seriously. However anyone that actually has a lawyer or uses lawyers with any frequency and pay $750/hr or more don’t usually throw that around. Getting attorneys involved gets expensive quick.

It’s just an internet flex. The OT used to be full of such things although now the OT is just a bunch of old content dudes who like fat girls

Why would a standard non divorced W2 employee ever talk to an attorney other than maybe make a will or title transfer?

Three routine scenarios off top of my head:

Car wreck
Kid gets in trouble
Home insurer won’t cover house damage after an act of god

But none of these things warrant having an attorney on retainer.

A senior VP has never needed a lawyer to review a contract? No internal counsel?

You are not even good at this LARP

Agree. These commercials that say Lawyer for Life confuse me. But my IQ is pretty high and I dont exhibit trashy behavior.

Not always. I’ve seen some trash say “ima call my lawyer.” Always wondered how those types just happen to have a lawyer on standby.

This was true for folks born in 1915 who lived in rural or suburban America. (Not that they had speed dial in the 1940s)

Unfortunately it’s no longer true.

I don't recommend going to court for a criminal or serious civil matter with a lawyer specializing in real estate or trusts.

Very very few people have a lawyer retainer.

It’s cheesy AF when someone says you will be hearing from my lawyer.

Does that mean everything that you say to her is attorney client privileged, and she can’t complain to her mom or her friends that you’re an a-hole?

It is crazy to me that people think like that. While their particular specialties will likely be different, "good" people have just as much legitimate need for an attorney as "bad" people.
